Syntax

SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE(IN BACKUPDIR VARCHAR())

No
result is returned from the procedure.

BACKUPDIR

An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the path to a
directory, where the backup should be stored. Relative paths are resolved
based on the current user directory, user.dir, of the
JVM where the database backup is occurring. Relative paths are not resolved
based on the derby home directory. To avoid confusion, use the absolute path.

Execute privileges

If authentication and SQL authorization are both enabled, only the
database owner has
execute privileges on this procedure by default. See "Enabling user
authentication" and "Setting the SQL standard authorization mode" in the
Java DB Developer's Guide for more information. The
database owner can grant access to other users.
